Introduction to Qigong W24

$16

with Shalimar Chasse, Augusta Adult and Community Education

Calendar Apr 19, 2024 at 2 pm, runs for 1 week

An ancient wellness practice, with foundational moves associated with the martial arts, that builds energy, balances, and unifies body, mind, and spirit.

This workshop is ideal for those who live with chronic illnesses, are recovering from a health event, and have limited mobility. Some standing is ideal, however seated modifications are possible. The closest practice to qigong is Thai Chi. The difference is that qigong offers a series of exercises that can be more easily remembered. Thai Chi is often centered around multi-step forms that take time to memorize.

Community-accessible video links to follow for continued home practice.
